It’s much easier nowadays for a girl to hear that she’s glowing (even sans any potential baby in the oven), thanks to a slew of ever-more-innovative skincare products via luxury brands such as L’Occitane, Clarins and Shiseido. In fact, skin-brightening products have never been so plentiful, with so-called miracle formulas now crafted to combat the signs of ageing whether it be damaged by the sun, pollutants or just the unavoidable passage of time. Below you can find our editor’s picks for the latest and greatest skincare products to keep you looking and feeling bright.

French cosmetics manufacturer L’Occitane is trusting to a touch of the wild in its bid to defeat dark spots via its new Reine Blanche Targeted Spot Care Duo. A day and-night combo, it is said to restore excessively sun-kissed skin and reduce uneven pigmentation by employing liquorice extracts and exfoliating agents to goad the skin into a calming renewal.

Not ones to be satisfied with just one new product, Clarins has also introduced the White Plus Targeted Spot Brightener, a luxurious roll-on treatment designed to dab dark spots away. Said to target those areas in need of brightening with a soothing Vitamin C and tri-intensive brightening serum, your skin should be left balanced and bright.

Shiseido has high hopes of its iconic cherry blossom formula, the active ingredient in its White Lucent MicroTargeting Spot Corrector, for removing unwanted signs of ageing. Promising to banish blemishes, the corrector uses microtargetting technology to eradicate any spots that are depriving your skin of its melanin.
